RAF Marham 28th January 2016

Post by billydog » Fri Jan 29, 2016 12:57 pm

Spent a few hours at Marham on Thursday, and was treated to the rare sight of a four-ship launch, when WOLF Flight departed for a flypast over the base.

Great set of shots Justin, a nice variety - well done & thanks for sharing

Very good light, particularly on the Apache, they are not that easy to shoot

Cheers
